About this fabric

This Frensham Blue colourway from the Eloise collection shows a cool, powdery blue ground with a white, leaf-like motif spread evenly across the cloth. The pattern reads clearly without feeling heavy, helped by the light contrast and the airy spacing between repeats. Woven in 65% Linen, 29% Viscose and 6% Polyester, it has the natural character of linen with a smoother finish from the viscose. With a width of approximately 138cm and a repeat of V 74cm / H 138cm approx, it is suited to coordinated furnishings where the full motif can be shown to advantage.

How to use it

The pale blue tone works well in relaxed coastal or country interiors, especially with white woodwork, oatmeal upholstery and washed timber. Its crisp botanical pattern also brings a smart, decorative note to curtains, blinds or statement cushions.

Use with pale oak and chalk white for a calm, tailored room.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Frensham Blue without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
